NORTH JAY WATER DISTRICT is one of 536 community water systems in Maine in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 500 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1996 and 1997, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1997.
All 4 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules and inorganic chemicals.
